The Concubine's Frivolous Daughter: Nine Thousand Years Old with a Monster

Chapter 70

Before dawn the next day, Zhichun sent someone out and invited a cook to come back and cook a sumptuous breakfast for Yu Cixin.

When Yucixin woke up, all kinds of food on the table were still steaming, she finished her breakfast gracefully, gathered everyone except Zhidong, and told them to let them Stay in the yard all the time and try not to go out.

Zhou Shiwu lost the account book, not only the gates of the city will be strictly controlled, but even the city will take action soon. Zhichun and the others are not skilled enough. They often go out to inquire about news. After a long time, people will inevitably be suspicious, so they stay in the yard. safer.

As for inquiring about news, no one is more suitable than her, the former "King of Tasks".

A full day of planning in the yard can pass before you know it.

As night fell, Yu Cixin changed into night clothes and turned out of the courtyard while everyone was asleep.

The destination of her trip is the Governor's Mansion.Although Zhidong brought out the account book from the mansion, it is reasonable to say that Zhou Shiwu, the governor of Xiangzhou, could not escape the responsibility for distributing the contents of the account book.However, Zhou Shiwu was not the only one who harmed Yan Ning's father back then, but another dog official.Afterwards, she also sent someone to investigate, and the other person was the former Liuzhou prefect, that is, Li Wei who had just been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War a few days ago.

What a coincidence, some time ago Li Wei's son Li Jianren tried to rob her in the street, but Shangguan Ye sent someone to throw him into the jail of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Li Wei must have been dealing with the Ministry of Criminal Justice during this time.It is said that they sent someone to post a message to her, saying that they wanted to see her, but she rejected it, and even confessed that in the future, all the posts sent by the Li family would not be accepted, and the person sent would never see her.

Presumably so many days have passed, and Li Jianren is still suffering in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Li Wei must be very anxious now.But neither I nor Shangguan Ye, who are the rightful lords, will see him, and the people in the Ministry of Punishment have been ordered by Shangguan Ye, not to mention asking Li Wei to rescue his son, even meeting him once.

Now in Xiangzhou, Yu Cixin recalled the scene where Yan Ning said that her parents died tragically, and wished to find evidence to bring these two dog officials to justice.

When I came here yesterday, although it was the road taken by Yan Ning, I happened to pass by the street where the governor's mansion is, so it was easy to find the governor's mansion.

At night, there are only a few scattered lanterns on the ancient streets, and the lighting is not very good.Yu Cixin wore black night clothes and blended into the night, and found the location of the governor's mansion according to his memory, and climbed up the wall of the governor's mansion with ease.

She stood on the wall for a long time, and saw that the guards in the mansion were closely patrolling alternately, thinking that after what happened to Zhidong a few days ago, the guards in the mansion have become stricter.

Yuci Xin catted his body, walked along the wall for a long distance, and then jumped off the top when he saw a blind spot.A slight landing sound, accompanied by insects chirping in the grass in the yard at night, did not alarm anyone at all.

According to Zhidong's description, Yu Cixin escaped the guards and slowly approached the study.

At this time, the study room was still brightly lit, and she was standing under the window outside the study room, and could vaguely hear the conversation inside.She quietly pushed the window open a crack, and looked inside through the gap.

At this glance, I saw a man with a mischievous look sitting in front of the desk, and another man was talking to that man respectfully with his back turned to her.Yu Cixin complained secretly in his heart, the one sitting swaggering should be Zhou Shiwu, right?Fuck, he looks like a bad guy, no wonder there is a lot of bad water in his stomach.

She listened to the conversation between the two in the study with her ears upright. It turned out that the person who stole the account book had not been found for so many days. Zhou Shiwu was a little worried. Years of business are not in vain.

They also said that Li Wei, the minister of the Ministry of War who was just promoted, sent a message saying that someone was investigating the Ruan family's affairs eight years ago, and that the Yihong Courtyard in the capital had also collapsed. They sold the two daughters of the Ruan family. , except for the one who died at the beginning, there is another one who is missing.I don't know if someone is investigating whether the incident eight years ago is related to the youngest daughter of the Ruan family. If so, they will not only enforce martial law during this time, but also find the youngest daughter of the Ruan family, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Although they destroyed all the evidence when they did that thing back then, no one knew about it except those who defected under Ruan Zhihong's subordinates, but no matter how secretive they were, there would be loopholes, so they wanted to kill all the signs In the cradle.

As for the account book being stolen this time, the person next to Zhou Shiwu suggested making another account book.Anyway, both left and right are written by him, and the handwriting on the two books is the same. If someone goes to Beijing to sue him with the book, he can take out the fake book and claim that he was falsely accused.

The two of them talked until late at night before leaving the study, waiting for Yu Cixin to almost fall asleep.After finally waiting for them to leave, Yu Cixin slowly slipped into the study.

She looked at the layout of the study room, presumably Zhou Shiwu hadn't changed much after occupying the Ruan family's compound. The study room was not much different from what Yan Ning described, except that there were a few more rows of bookshelves.

Yan Ning told her that the desk in the study is made of a whole piece of marble, which is connected to the floor. There is a slight bulge five inches inward from the lower left corner under the desk, and you won't notice it unless you look carefully.That was the switch of her father's study room. Although Zhou Shiwu occupied her house for so long, he would not find this secret place. After all, who would go under the desk to see it?

Knowing this is because Yan Ning often went to play in her father's study room when she was a child, and she liked to play peek-a-boo with her sister when she had nothing to do. She went and hid under the desk countless times, and naturally found this place.

Yan Ning still remembered that when she entered the secret room, she was reprimanded by Ruan Zhihong, and it was her mother who calmed down her father's anger and ordered her not to play in his study anymore.

Later, she didn't think of such a place, if she didn't hear Zhidong said yesterday that she broke into the study of the governor's mansion, she wouldn't have the impression.

During the day, Yan Ning told Yucixin the secret, and Yucixin immediately thought of coming to check it out at night.She approached the desk step by step, reached out her hand to feel under the desk, but found no protrusion, so she probed inside again, and her fingertips inadvertently touched something, she pressed down, and there was a bulge on her back. There was a gap through which only one person could pass.

He took out the fire pocket that he was carrying and blew on it lightly, and Yu Cixin walked in.After she entered the secret room, the gap was closed.

There are rows of ladders extending downwards at the entrance of the secret room, which seems to be an underground secret room.Yu Cixin held the fire folder, and with the faint light of the fire, illuminated the path under his feet.When she arrived at the secret room, she noticed a few candles beside her, and quickly lit them with the torch in her hand. Under the light of the candles, the whole secret room suddenly brightened.

There are a lot of gold and silver treasures piled up in the secret room, most of which are silver bills. There are several rows of bookshelves around, and there are some account books on the shelves, but there is nothing else.Yuci looked at it heartily, but didn't get anything useful from it.Her sharp eyes scanned the entire secret room carefully, and finally her eyes settled on a picture scroll hanging on the wall.

She stepped forward and took off the scroll, revealing a square of one foot square.
